What is advertising
worthP To what extent is
it a responsible factor in
mercantile affairs ? These
questions are asked and an
swered millions of times
every year, but they are
never answered to the ab-
solute, permanent satisfac-
ton of any one. But some
one says he is satisfied
that advertising pays. Un-
doubtedly he thinks his way
of advertising pays him,
and, even if it doesn't,
the mental satisfaction of a
defended opinion is worth
something. Now, if opin.
ions are SO much at vari-
ance, some of us must be
advertising in the right way
and some Of us in the wrong
way. w hos to decide
which is the right and
which the wrong wayP One
substantial basis is big
enough for us all to stand
on, and that is we must
advertise. How-that is a
subordinate consideration
entirely dependent upon
individual opinion.

SOME OF the newspapers of Virginia
cannot understood how it is that the
number of men in that State who lost
arms, legs or eyes in the Confederate
service, increase so rapidly. Que
would naturally think that in the
course of twenty years some of the I'M
fortunates would have died. In 1866.
the year after the close of the war, the
State expended for its soldiers
manned as above 500 coo, and last year
it expended for them more than four
times as much. or $50, 600. 1t would
seem from this, that the wounded men
are not only immortal. but are rapidly
increasing. Another twenty years at
the same rate of increase, and Virginia
will again have to repudiate her debts.
